laminated glass and it's interlayer structural design, any handbooks or technical information

about it
Yes, there are several handbooks and technical resources that provide information on the
structural design of laminated glass with interlayers.

One such resource is the GANA Laminating Division Interlayer Design Manual, published by the
Glass Association of North America. This manual provides guidance on the selection and use of
interlayers in laminated glass, and includes information on the mechanical properties of various
types of interlayers, as well as design considerations for laminated glass under different loading
conditions.

The International Commission on Glass (ICG) also publishes a Technical Committee Report on
Interlayer Standards for Laminated Glass. This report provides information on the properties of
different types of interlayers, including their mechanical properties, optical properties, and
resistance to environmental factors such as UV radiation and moisture.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) has also published several standards related
to the design and performance of laminated glass with interlayers. These standards include EN
16612:2019 Glass in building - Laminated glass and laminated safety glass - Evaluation of
conformity/Product standard, which provides guidelines for the design and testing of laminated
glass products, and EN 16613:2019 Glass in building - Laminated glass and laminated safety glass
- Test methods for durability, which provides guidance on testing the durability and resistance of
laminated glass products over time.

Additionally, many manufacturers of laminated glass products provide technical information and
design guidelines for their specific products, including information on interlayer selection, glass
thickness, and performance under different loading conditions.

Overall, the selection and design of laminated glass with interlayers should take into account the
specific loading conditions and performance requirements of the application, as well as the
properties and behavior of the interlayer material. Consultation with a qualified engineer or other
expert can help to ensure that the design and selection of laminated glass with interlayers meets
the necessary performance requirements and complies with all relevant standards and
regulations.
